Are you using the Classic version for Windows, by any chance? If so, you need to use the -database switch and a network method for connecting to Classic on Windows, e.g. (watch word wrap)

gsec -database "localhost:c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\security.fdb" -user sysdba -password masterkey

The same applies to connecting to database via your apps and tools.
